One eyelid is lower than the other. Any advice? (Photos)

December 23, 2020
Asked By:jordaro2002 in South Carolina, SC

I've noticed in pics and videos that one eyelid sits lower than the other. I am not sure if it is noticable to others. No one in my life has mentioned it directly. What steps can I take to fix this problem?
